The problem with this point of view is that you're acquiescing to the
principle of thought crime. People are being prosecuted for their
intentions. Their action is simply to sell bitcoin to someone for cash.
It's inferred that they intended that the bitcoin then be used for
illegal purposes. Do you not see where this trend is going? Every
purchase or sale, every communication with another person, is going to
be under total surveillance. If you buy a certain item of clothing it
will be interpreted as an intent to commit crime, as a conspiracy for
terrorism. Make no mistake, that is where this is going if there is no
pushback. We are already in a world where people are thrown in prison
for making jokes on twitter. How much further does it have to go before
you see the problem? The frog is slowly warming up...

Silk road, Shrem, Localbitcoins-- all caught for doing things aside from just using bitcoin, yet all ignorantly championed by bitcoiners as "pioneers".
